RUTH Ruth's story is a wondrous one to tell A Moabitess, and removed by far from Israel's God, but to His Land to dwell Where He would manifest His future Star. Ruth's journey is a story so well said As faithful to her mother-in-law, she gleaned in fields of Bethlehem, the House of Bread Her gleanings large, for Boaz intervened. He was her kinsman ready to redeem His covering she knew, while at his feet To be his wife, the story shows the theme Her grafting to the Royal line complete. Their son would integrate this line of Grace Grandfather to King David, he would be David's great Son would solve redemption's case And bring salvation for eternity. In this redemption, He has brought us in From the dominion of that far-off land To know His cleansing from the stain of sin Then glean the pearls of Grace dropped from His Hand. Both Jew and Gentile now will form His Bride He, the Redeemer, and the Living Bread The barley fields, in which we now abide Are laden with the Love on which His table's spread.
